New friends

// THIS IS AN OLD CHAPTER. THE NEW CHAPTERS ARE IN VOLUME 2. YOU CAN READ THESE CHAPTERS IF YOU WANT SOME INSIGHT ON WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN LATER BUT SOME EVENTS CAN BE DIFFERENT BETWEEN THE OLD AND NEW CHAPTERS.

I wake up the next morning in an empty bed. I hear the sound of a shower in a room that I had not discovered the day before because it is behind a sliding panel. I take this opportunity to take my deliletter in my suitcase to send a message to my mother.

[Hi mom, I slept with some new friends I made in New York. I come home soon. Sean]

A few minutes later, my magiphone emits an aura to let me know that someone wants to reach me.

"Hi Mom."

"Hello honey, sleep well? You still have paint on your face." Damn, I completely forgot to wash before calling her! I start to try to rub the paint. "It's okay you can stop trying to hide it, we did a lot worse with your father when we were younger. I am willing to allow you a little gap given your school results but let me know where you are next time." It's weird, she's way too accommodating all of a sudden. "Ah yes, we just got a new request from MACUSA and given what they offered us, I accepted it for you. It would be nice if you didn't come back too late to take a look at it. " And there is the reason why. I still have the impression that I am mistaken for the Tony Stark of the wizarding world.

"I was still planning on spending some time here before I got home but I would be home between 7 and 8 p.m."

"OK see you later." The amount that MACUSA is offering for this thing must be really amazing to make her so lax.

As I put away my magiphone, I hear the sliding bathroom door and Lana comes out already dressed with a towel around her hair. The effects of the aging potion have ended, and she looks younger, her body is less developed, and she has lost ten centimeters, too bad.

"Who was it?"

"My mom, I'll have to be home soon in a few hours."

I leave Lana in the bedroom while I take a shower, the water is running over my skin taking the blue paint with it. I grabbed the soap and shampoo that the hotel has put at our disposal, they smell very good of sandalwood.

I get out of the shower and pull clean clothes from my suitcase; a white t-shirt and jeans shorts for me and a green hoodie and beige shorts for Lana.

"Here, it's a little bit big for you but at least it's clean." I give her the clothes and leave the room.

"Thank you." I see her smell the sweatshirt as I walk through the door. Bad luck for her, it's new and does not carry my scent yet.

Samael is already up, he is shirtless in the living room doing fitness exercises with different furniture in the room and Kayla is watching him do it, I think she is drooling a bit.

"Hi, sleep well." He looks at me with a smirk.

"Don't look at me like that, nothing happened."

"Haha, like I'm going to believe you." He is making fun of me again.

I find a clock with the time displayed; it is already past 10 a.m. I find the room service number with a menu of everything the chef can prepare for us.

"You want something to eat, I'm the one to treat."

"Why not, I'm hungry like a wolf." Kayla took the menu from my hand and starts to look at all the dishes while salivating. How can such a small thing be so voracious?

I begin to explore the suite and realize that there was another room that I could have offered to Samael and Kayla. At the end of the corridor, I find an indoor swimming pool with a glass door that leads onto the terrace. An open air jacuzzi with panoramic city views, what better way to start the day, this one is right in front of the living room windows which is actually another glass door. I open it wide, letting the fresh air wash away the old smell of perspiration.

"I found a jacuzzi!"

"We saw it last night with Kayla, but we didn't want to wake you up to ask your permission to go inside."

"Well now is the time to try it!" It's been over twelve years since I set foot in a bubble bath.

Not having swimsuits, it is in our underwear that we enter the jacuzzi. Room service comes to deliver our lunch and we are now quietly sipping a very fresh orange juice in our hot water.

It feels good, a real moment of relaxation for once, no evil kids, no fugitives or Death Eaters, and no vampire to spoil my moment of well-being.

I spoke too soon again, I hear someone knocking on the door, it must be room service that forgot the bill or something like that.

"I'm coming." I wrap a towel around my waist and go to open the front door. I find Samuel G. Quahog, the president of MACUSA accompanied by two bodyguards behind it.

"Hello Mr. Bones, I wanted to greet you since you are passing throw and maybe invite you to lunch if your friends aren't too busy ... Lana? "

"Dad?"

Oh shit.
